Trans rights and women's rights are not and never have been in competition. Thank you to Marie Goldman for this excellent letter and your work on this.

Today on International Women's Day we celebrate all women and the effort that still goes into fighting for the rights of all women, no matter their orientation or identity. #InternationalWomensDay | #InternationalWomensDay2026

Transmisogyny directly hurts not only the lives of trans women, but it comes to hurt cis women as well, now cisgender athletes will have to pay for testing to "prove they're cis" due to transmisogynist policy. thetimes.com/sport/athletic…

Today is the first day of LGBT History Month LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold. This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.

Happy New Year from all of us at plus 🎆🔶

Season’s greetings to all, however you celebrate. 🎄 Thank you for standing with LGBT+ Lib Dems this year. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Artwork by artist Alex. 🙏

On #HumanRightsDay2025 - everyone has the right to be treated equally, fairly, with dignity & respect and that includes all trans and non binary people who have the right as per equalities legislation to identify in their chosen gender and not be disrespected by anyone. @LGBTLD

As I’ve always said - being open and honest about who you are and fighting any #Shame #Sigma or #abuse has been my core motto ever since I was diagnosed in June 2004. This will be my 23rd #WorldAIDSDay as an HIV+ individual and I’m proud to be standing by what I believe in today!

In the meantime, over a hundred thousand are living with HIV in the UK still, and thousands are thought to be infected but unaware. We have work to do to achieve the world we know is possible - thank you to everyone helping us get there. (2/2) #WorldAIDSDay2025

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. We have come a long way since the horrors of the 1980s, which triggered a wave of homophobia which has its echoes today. HIV is now routinely treatable and for the first time there is the prospect of a world without AIDS too. (1/2)

In 2023 nearly 108,000 people received HIV care in the UK, showing progress. This World AIDS Day, we’re reminded there’s more to do as around 5,000 people remain undiagnosed. I met with the APPG on HIV, AIDS and Sexual Health to discuss raising awareness and expanding prevention.

Thanks to @mariecgoldman, @cajardineMP, @LizBarkerLords and all the other MPs and Peers working on this. It's vital to keep up the hard work, especially now an end to AIDS is within sight. (Marie isn't on X any more, but her remarks are below.)

@mariecgoldman: "Imagine being turned away from a loo, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my LD colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive guidance that protects everyone’s rights."

Thank you for this, @mariecgoldman, and to the dozens of @LibDems MPs who have already signed her letter. We've been hearing distressing accounts of this sort of exclusion happening already. The EHRC guidance needs to be rejected and rewritten if it's not good enough.
